First, he still won't fight Paquioa and keeps making excuses saying Manny won't take a drug test. So Mayweather takes a fight (in which he is guaranteed 25 million win or lose) against Victor Cruz. Cruz threw a dirty head butt. But then on the break Mayweather hit Cruz before the ref even said fight. Watch the video, the ref is still looking at the judges and when Cruz gets KO'ed, he looks over at them again wondering what happened. This is what's wrong with boxing. You can't get the fights you want to see, plus fights end dirty like this but nobody wants Mayweather to lose his first fight because of a DQ. Oh well, at least there's a UFC on next Saturday.

While I agree about with everything you said about Mayweather...Larry Merchant is the greatest drunken interviewer ever lol. He's been known to hit the bottle in between rounds and I think it shows here.
On another note, I never got carried away with Mayweather and Pacquio...they're both pussies. They had the chance to single handedly put boxing back in a more relevant place and beacause they're both dickheads.....it's never gonna happen. I don't think UFC killed boxing, they're 2 different sports. It may have stolen the spotlight with the younger crowd who wants more brutality but really boxing did itself in. There hasnt been a heavyweight worth watching since the Tyson, Holyfield, Douglas days of the early 90's. There is RIDICULOUS league and sanction issues and they simply haven't produced anyone who is charismatic and athletic enough to watch....oh they did......Mayweather, whose a pussy and wont fight the only other man on the planet worth fighting. I love boxing to death...hell I have 3 8X10's hanging up of Marciano, LaMotta and I met Joe Frazier and had him sign his. The fact is it's pretty much done unless they do some drastic crap. |

Boxing has 6 different titles over 15 weight classes so there are literally 90 belts up for grabs. That is a huge reason why boxing has lost fans, nobody knows who any of the champs are. As you said, in the 90s you had some of the best heavyweights we've ever seen. We got the fights we wanted (Tyson vs Holyfield is what most probably remember). But now nobody wants to fight someone they think can beat them. Manny and Floyd both take fights just to say they are winning fights. They need to fight and get it over with.
I'm a huge fan of the UFC. I started watching in about 99 (before most had ever heard of it). I liked it because it was fast paced and was so much more exciting than boxing. I loved watching people like Royce Gracie fight people 100 pounds heavier and still come out on top. What I love now is you get the fights you want. Dana White had even said that if GSP wins his next fight that we will get the super fight between Anderson Silva and GSP. In the UFC you are told who you fight and you can tell Dana who you want to fight. There is no dodging fights. Either fight the best or don't fight at all. Probably the best moment was about a year ago when Anderson Silva win a fight but was dancing and screwing sounds the whole fight. Dana White told him that if he did that again, he would lose his title and have to work his way back up because that's not what the fans pay for. That shows me that Dana White knows what people want to see. And that is why UFC has passed boxing. They listen to the fans. Plus in UFC they have bonuses for fight of the night, submission of the night and KO of the night. UFC fighters aren't guaranteed 25 million win or lose so they want those bonuses and that equals more excitement. Boxing has a lot of issues but the biggest is not giving the fans what they want.

People still watch boxing?
I do still catch some lighter weight stuff every once in a while, but heavyweight class is a joke.

It's all about how you use it. For instance calling someone a pussy is ok but referring to female genitalia as such is not ok. At least that's how the FCC sees it.
